As the Philadelphia Eagles enter year two of the Nick Sirianni era, the 2022 NFL Draft is an important one to see if the coach can build on his rookie season.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, general manager Howie Roseman gave starting quarterback Jalen Hurts his full support for 2022. The Eagles have various other needs entering the draft, including a better pass rush. With two first-round picks, the Eagles can address areas of need early in the NFL Draft which begins on April 28.
PA sports betting apps are already filled with lots of ways to wager on the 2022 NFL draft and who the Philadelphia Eagles might pick.

Philadelphia Eagles mock drafts
ESPN NFL mock draft
In ESPN’s Mel Kiper and Todd McShay’s latest mock draft, McShay has the Eagles taking Alabama receiver Jameson Williams with the 15th pick. Williams tore his ACL in the National Championship vs. Georgia in January. It’s been reported that Williams is ahead of schedule with his recovery. With the 18th pick, Kiper has the Eagles selecting Michigan hybrid defensive back Daxton Hill.
NBC Sports
NBC Sports’ Peter King has the Eagles taking Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis with the 15th pick.
His explanation:
“The best thing I heard about Davis after his 4.78-second dash at the combine (at 341 pounds) was from one coach who thought Davis could play nose on first down and three-technique (the interior rush player) on second and third downs. That’s not common. He didn’t have great college production—19.5 tackles behind the line in 47 games at Georgia—and that would be a big concern to me. But someone will take him in the middle of the round, because he’s got such great potential.”
He then has the Eagles trading down from No. 18 to No. 22 to select Utah linebacker Devin Lloyd:
“Dart throw. Howie Roseman could trade down again here. The receiver and corner markets, both of which he needs to hit before the end of day two, don’t align with what’s left on the board in this mock. Lloyd had experience doing everything in 32 starts over three Utah seasons. His 43 career tackles for loss show he’s a play-wrecker in the run game too.”
Philadelphia Inquirer NFL mock draft
For a local perspective, the Marcus Hayes at the Philadelphia Inquirer also has the Eagles drafting Georgia’s Jordan Davis at 15 and USC wide receiver Drake London at 18. The Inquirer says Davis will replace Fletcher Cox after this season and will pair nicely next to 2021 third-round pick Milton Williams on the defensive line. London’s route running “needs work,” but his 6-foot-4, 219-pound frame makes him a good fit opposite DeVonta Smith.
